SPRAYER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 651,938, dated June19, 1900.

Application filed J une 5, 1899. Serial No. 719,368. (No model.)

To all whom it 11i/ty concern,.-

Be it Vknown that I, DE WANE B. SMITH, of Deerfield, in the county ofOneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Sprayers; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters and gu res of reference marked thereon, which form part of thisspecification.

The object of my present invention is to provide further improvements insprayers.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a perspective View of a sprayer ofmyimproved con-- struction. Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section of thesame.

Referring to the reference letters and figures in a more particulardescription of the device, 1 indicates the cylinder or barrel, in whichis located a plunger 2, secured on the inner end of the piston-rod 3.The pistonrod 3 passes out through the cover 4 and is provided with ahandle 5, by means of whichV the plunger may be conveniently operated.In the end of the cylinder or barrel there is provided a head (i, which,as shown, is provided with two openings or blow-holes a. Beneath thecylinder there is arranged a receptacle-casin g 7, secured directly tothe barrel at 8 and also by a hanger 9, which places the casing at anacute angle with the axis of the barrel. The casing 7 is preferablycylindrical and receives the receptacle lO, which is preferably of glassor transparent material and of a cylindrical form. In line with the axisof the casing 7 and at the end of the barrel 1 there is secured areceptacle head or cap 1l. The flange 11a of the cap is so arranged withreference to the end of the cylinder l that the head of the cap standsin advance of the head-V of the cylinder, substantially as shown. Theflange lla of the cap is also preferably provided with a rolled-inscrew-thread which is adapted to receive a screw-thread on the endof thereceptacle 10. The arrangement is preferably such that the cap is of aless diameter than that of the body of the recep- Ifacle, and the end ofthe receptacle which receives the cap 11 is correspondingly reduced -ing7.

to adapt the same to the cap. The head of the cap 11 is preferably madedishing or coucave, as shown at 11b, having a hole in the center andforming a convenient funnel for filling the receptacle. The holementioned may be stoppedvby a corkor stopper 12. From points approximateto the openings a in the head of the cylinder there extend suctiontubesb b through the projecting portion of the flange 11a of the cap or headto points approximating the opposite side of the cap. These tubesw-ithin the cap are perfectly bent to avoid the opening closed by thestopper 12.

On the under side of the casing 7 there is provided a transverse bar 13,secured to the casing and forming a sort of foot, -which will maintainthe device in upright position when it is placed upon ahorizontalsurface.

In the construction as shown the receptacle 10 -is removable byunscrewing it from the flange 11a and withdrawing it from the cas- Thisremovable feature provides a ready access to the interior of thereceptacle either for cleaning purposes or otherwise and also allows anew receptacle to be readily inserted in case of breakage. Y

Sprayers of this class are in the main used for spraying with a mixtureof paris-green and water. The paris-green is not in solution and-withoutconstant agitation quickly forms a heavy sediment in the lowest point ofthe receptacle. It will be understood that in using a sprayer of thisclass it is held in the hand of the operator, with one hand preferablygrasping the barrel l substantially above the receptacle and the otheroperating the same by the handle 5. In theusual mode of operation thesprayer gets a longitudinal swinging movement, by which, with theelongated form of the cylindrical receptacle l0 and the reduced forwardend thereof, a churning motion is maintained within the receptacle,which keeps the paris-green thoroughly in sus- Aside from this, when theuse of the sprayerisdiscontinued and it is placed on a surfacesubstantially as shown in Fig. 1 the paris-green settles in the lowestportion of the receptacle and not in close proximity to the intake endsof the suctiontubes b, where the thick paris-green will be dischargedupon the sprayer again being put into operation before there has been asuii- IOO kIo

cientinterval of tirne with the agitating movement to again thoroughlyniix it with the water.

In addition to protecting and supportingl the receptacle the casing alsoserves to direct the threaded or attaching end to the cap when replacingthe receptaeleI It is evident that the form ofconstruction may bemodified in several particulars with-v out departing from the spirit ofin y invention.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure line withsaid head or cover, areceptacle and l a Suction-tube extending from a point approximate ablow-hole inthe cylinder into the receptacle through the said head orcover, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination in a sprayer of a cyl-V inder and plunger, areceptacle head or cap secured at the end of the cylinder, alongitudinally-arranged detachable receptacle adapted to be secured tosaid head or cap, and a suction-tube passing through' the ,sa-idvcap orhead from a point approximatea blow-hole at ythe end of the cylinder toa point within the receptacle, substantially as set' forth.

3. The combination in a sprayer of a cylinder and plungerand a flangedreceptacle cap or head secured at Athe end of the cylinder, asuction-tube passing through the cap, a receptacle-casing secured to thecylinder and coincidingaxially with the cap and the receptacle,lsubstantially asset forth.

4. The combination in a sprayer 0f a cylinder and plunger, areceptaclecap'or head secured to the cy1inder,"a receptacle, areceptacle-casing and a suction-tube passing from a point approximate toa blow-hole in the cylinder into the receptacle, substantially assetforth.

Iny witness whereof I have aftixed my sigp nature, in presence oftwowitnesses, thisv 31st day of May, 18,99. n
